Final Fantasy V Advance

"When taken together, all the elements above make for quite an enjoyable portable RPG. Sure the new jobs are more of a novelty than a necessity and the narrative feels all too familiar, but the gameplay is what Final Fantasy V is all about anyway. It says a lot that after all these years, the class-changing system and its ATB mechanics still go toe-to-toe with just about everything that RPG manufacturers put out today. It's addictive, deep, and easy to pick up and play. What else do you need?"

"Many English-speaking Final Fantasy fans may now experience what they've missed out on for years in this relatively obscure but thoroughly excellent installment of the classic role-playing series."

All of the additions to the "Advance" port of Final Fantasy V are worthwhile, but it is a shame that the new jobs and bonus dungeon are only available right at the end of the game.
